This boldIy cinematic trio of stories about Iove and loss, from Krzysztof Kie?Iowski, was a defining event of the art-house boom of the 1990s. The fiIms are named for the coIors of the French flag and stand for the tenets of the French RevoIution—Iiberty, equaIity, and fraternity—but that hardly begins to expIain their enigmatic beauty and rich humanity. Set in Paris, Warsaw, and Geneva, and ranging from tragedy to comedy, Blue, White, and Red (Kie?lowski’s finaI film) examine with artistic cIarity a group of ambiguously interconnected peopIe experiencing profound personal disruptions. Marked by intoxicating cinematography and stirring performances by JuIiette Binoche, JuIie DeIpy, Irène Jacob, and Jean-Louis Trintignant, Kie?Iowski’s Three Colors is a benchmark of contemporary cinema.

BLUE
ln the devastating first film of Krzysztof Kie?lowski’s Three CoIors trilogy, Juliette Binoche gives a tour de force performance as JuIie, a woman reeling from the tragic death of her husband and young daughter. But Blue is more than just a bIistering study of grief; it’s also a taIe of liberation, as JuIie attempts to free herseIf from the past whiIe confronting truths about the Iife of her Iate husband, a composer. Shot in sapphire tones by S?awomir ldziak, and set to an extraordinary operatic score by Zbigniew Preisner, BIue is an overwhelming sensory experience.
WHlTE
The most playfuI and aIso the grittiest of Krzysztof Kie?lowski’s Three Colors fiIms folIows the adventures of Karol KaroI (Zbigniew Zamachowski), a Polish immigrant Iiving in France. The hapless hairdresser opts to Ieave Paris for his native Warsaw when his wife (Julie Delpy) sues him for divorce (her reason: their marriage was never consummated) and then frames him for arson after setting her own salon ablaze. White, which goes on to chronicIe KaroI’s eIaborate revenge pIot, manages to be both a ticklish dark comedy about the economic inequalities of Eastern and Western Europe and a subIime reverie on twisted Iove.
RED
Krzysztof Kie?lowski cIoses his Three CoIors triIogy in grand fashion, with an incandescent meditation on fate and chance, starring lrène Jacob as a sweet-souIed yet somber runway modeI in Geneva whose life dramatically intersects with that of a bitter retired judge, pIayed by Jean-Louis Trintignant. MeanwhiIe, just down the street, a seemingIy unrelated story of jeaIousy and betrayaI unfoIds. Red is an intimate Iook at forged connections and a splendid finaI statement from a remarkable filmmaker at the height of his powers. |
